Steve Jobs : iPhone 5's comming this winter, we'll skip iOS 5 so oem will be happy.
3D surround will be part of the handheld market this winter so you can heat your house thus decreasing your electricity bill because iPhone's 5 is designed to run hot.

[citation][nom]watcha[/nom]I think the point Steve Jobs is trying to make is that the issue with the Iphone is not with the reception - it's that when it's held (in what, lets face it, is a particularly weird position) - the software is tricked into believing there is less signal than there is. This is why it's a software issue, rather than a hardware issue. Once the software believes there is no signal left, it will probably be the reason the calls are being cut - not the fact that the signal has actually been lost.He will inevitably release a software fix over the next few days and reiterate that the issue is not with reception, but with the software.For the record, I am not an Apple fanboy ,I have none of their products, but I'm thinking of getting the new Iphone. I'm fairly confident that I wont be so dumb to hold it in the exact position and orientation required to make the signal drop out - and I think the fact that people are jumping on that one flaw so obsessively is a bit pathetic, tbh.[/citation]

Ok seriouslly? Man, holding the phone with your hand, the normal way, it what's causing the phone to drop signals. It may be more prone to do this with your left hand, but most people I know will use both hands to call people, switching back and forth. My coworker has shown me it do it in front of my face, hold it, signal goes down. It's not some weird way to hold it, so stop making excuses. And saying that holding the phone is tricking the software into thinking it has less bars is idiotic in the extreme. How could you doing something a phone is designed for possibly be considered tricking software into something. The software is detecting less signal strength... therefore showing less bars. No trick there.

Just because you wave your hand in the air while you say "there are no reception issues" doesn't make it true A hole. your not a jedi.

He must be thinking consumers are stupid? No need for the modality. He simply thinks them stupid. And you know what's worst? They are stupid. He knows he has an army of fans that will approve every word he says, buy every product he releases and then defend it against every rational argument a non-believer gives. And for those who are idiots but not Apple fans, there is the marketing machine behind Apple that lures dumb people like ants to honey.

Oh, and he does not think himself a Jedi. He simply believes he is the Force itself...

Wow..sounds like at&t.

"Don't put your hands there"
"There is no issue"
Hold it like them guys on the saturday night live skit back in the late 90's
Now there is going to be a college for how to hold a cell phone .. millions of dollars in ergonomic studies and a 50 page instruction book on propper cell phone holdage ... I'm getting a 'droid...
2 words ... Design Flaw

AT&T made sure there would be an issue with reception so that all the iPhone users would have trouble making calls. Less traffic is good for AT&T remember.

having a metal antenna on the outside is a pretty bad design choice. The amount of noise from people touching it, and the increased possibility of major component damage if somebody shocks it while it's charging aren't worth the small increase in reception it gives you.

Enjoy your three day break mate.

Anyone else keen to waste my time with the "teleport" button?

I can't wait for the fix to come out which will put all you haters back into the little box you come out of.

It's a SOFTWARE issue. My iPhone 3G & 3GS are doing it after upgrading to iOS4. I'm doing it right now. 4 bars to 1 bar. It never did this on OS 3. Fix comes out, hey presto problem solved. Get it through your thick skulls people. Oh wait I almost forgot you're all just bashing for the fun of it. Carry on it amuses me.

"Stay tuned"
is that meant to be some kind of sick joke?

LOL this dude reminds me of a mall cop. With his flashlight and whistle. Your so sensitive that you cant take a sarcastic joke? He didnt swear or violate any tos but I guess you made up your own tos. Thats the problem with all mods is that they think their special and are drunk with internet power.

Now lets see how quick you hit your ban button on me for expressing my opinion. I didnt swear or violate any tos just like that dude didnt. Or youll just have some weak response.

You need to go take a nap because your being extra sensitive.
